Barnes & Noble NOOK Pro Reviews

TheVerge‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The new Nook enters a highly competitive market, but it’s still a world ripe for new and better ideas — we’re still waiting on the perfect reader. I don’t think the Nook is The One, but it offers up some nice improvements over the standard formula. Perfect simplicity of operation, endless battery life, speedy page turns, and a retail juggernaut for backup. If you’ve already bought into the Kindle ecosystem (as many have), you might be better served just waiting for the inevitable Kindle response, but for someone just getting into the ebooks game, this Nook is a pretty great start.

In the end I think each new iteration of the Nook and the Kindle (and, to a lesser degree, the Kobo) will be the “best” of breed at launch. As each new device surfaces, manufacturers will perfect these devices as we move inexorably towards a paperless future. Rather than say this is a war between Kindle and Barnes & Noble, we must term this a battle between the old guard and the new, paper books and ebooks. And, clearly, ebooks are winning.

If you're looking for a no-nonsense e-reader that's easy to use, connects to an online book store, handles your side-loaded content (like PDFs), lets you interact with other friends who use the Nook store, and rarely has to be charged up, you will love the Simple Touch Nook. The form, design and guts are superior to the Kindle 3. The offerings from the Nook and Kindle stores are more or less the same, with a small handful of exclusive content from magazines and journals. But each store offers roughly a million books in their store, along with another million books that are free in the public domain. So you don't really lose either way.

The new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the current Kindle.
